A new favorite
The chiffon is gorgeous and the Travertine is even richer in person. I wore the Valeria to an evening event and felt wonderful — fully lined, no slip needed.

The Valeria is a mini chiffon wrap mini dress from the Faustina collection — a dress conceived in Rome for daytime, garden parties and the warmer months. The chiffon wrap mini is cut from weightless recycled chiffon that moves with you, fully lined so it reads opaque in daylight and flash alike.
Like every Hugo Caesar Tassi piece, the Valeria is finished by hand: a concealed closure, real linings, and seams sewn to last. It is offered in 3 colors from the imperial palette — Travertine, Verde Antico, Vermiglio — and built to be worn for years, not a single season.

True to size. The Valeria runs true through the waist and skirt. Between sizes? The bodice is cut close, so size up for a fuller bust.

For daytime, pair the Valeria in Travertine with fine-gold jewelry and a barely-there heel. Add the Faustina silk scarf at the neck or wrist to complete the look.
The Valeria takes the discipline of classical dress — line, proportion, restraint — and reads it as a modern mini dress for daytime, garden parties and the warmer months.
Part of the Faustina collection, the Valeria is built around weightless recycled chiffon that moves with you. The chiffon sits above the knee, fully lined and finished so it photographs as beautifully as it moves.
Offered in the imperial palette — Travertine, Verde Antico, Vermiglio — it is a dress designed to be kept and returned to, not discarded with the season.
Considered inside. Real linings, French-finished seams and a concealed closure — the details you feel before you see.
Made to last. Chiffon chosen for the way it drapes, so the Valeria keeps its line through a long evening.
Made responsibly. Cut from recycled fabric and produced ethically — a lighter footprint, an heirloom result.
What she said after wearing it

Exactly as pictured and beautifully finished inside. The Valeria holds its line all evening and the color is a grown-up, elegant travertine.
Lovely dress and excellent quality for the price. Runs true through the waist; the bodice is a touch fitted, so size up if you're fuller in the bust.
Answered by the Hugo Caesar Tassi atelier
It's fully lined and completely opaque — no slip required. Only the lightest details are very slightly sheer, by design.
True to size through the waist and skirt. The bodice is tailored, so size up if you're fuller in the bust. See the size guide for exact measurements.
Very much so — it was designed for daytime, garden parties and the warmer months. Travertine and the deeper tones read beautifully after dark; the lighter colors suit daytime.
